Santa Barbara, California Port Reviews

First time stopping her by cruise ship and loved every minute! The staff needs some refresher training in how the tendering process works. There seemed to be a lot of confusion on just getting people on and off the ship and the announcements were limited and not very helpful. Other than that, great port, beautiful city, and they seem to be very interested in expanding the cruise ship business as we saw several surveys taking place.

Gorgeous, but not much to do. Try renting bikes or look up a free walking tour. The Mission is not worth seeing. Ocean water is too cold for swimming. Tendering can take awhile, so wait a couple hours before lining up.

Beautiful

It took over 5 hours for people to get off the ship. Why just two tenders???

Our favorite stop on the itinerary.

Although our time here was cut short, it was beautiful. Thank you Rich for telling us about the Courthouse. Also ran into a cool resale shop called The Renaissance, you have to shop there ladies!!!

Tendered into port. Good info booth on pier with free shuttle into town. Rented a 3 wheeled scooter buggy and drove all around town for three hours. Saw the Mission and many beautiful homes, parks, and golf courses.

No excursion needed. Get off and walk.

So thrilling, do not remember.

Good, but only spent a few hours here (literally). Look to see how long you are in each port. This one was tender, so it cut drastically into our minimal time.
